my cpu % is always above 50% whenever the LAN is enabled, and i dont mean that as in the cords are plugged in or not, i mean i gotta go to the network connections and enable it.
anyone got a solution?
note: do NOT say its a virus/trojan or anything else, i have used 2 firewalls without picking anything up.
also, do NOT tell me to go to task manager and check which programs are using the cpu. dont you think i would have done that about a month ago when this all started?
also, i have been to microsoft, but those dicks over there wont help me.

I can't really find anything wrong with that with a quick look through of it... but then again I don't do much analyzing of HJT logs.
You have two firewall's running..? Are they both software... if so.. shut one off.

If you have more than one network connection enabled, disable the ones you aren't using.
Other than that, turn off Windows Firewall if you're using another firewall - I've noticed that two firewalls on concurrently can cause some hefty connection issues. Heck, even having McAfee and my hardware firewall in the router enabled at once gave me connection issues, so I disabled the router firewall.
Tell us if disabling the network connections reduces your CPU usage notably (more than 1 or 2 percent).

disabling the network connection lets my cpu run at 0%, instead of 50%. (which is what i want when it is enabled)

And when your Network Connection is activated, which process is using the 50%?
Is the Hijackthis Log taken in your normal running environment? There is so much stuff running... I got 12 processes. But i think thats just because i'm a clean-system-fanatic.

Haha, I currently have 47 processes running, plus another copy of Windows XP running in a virtual machine (which is running 33 processes itself as well), and another virtual machine running Debian Linux with some number of processes in it that I do not know.
Basically... 80+ processes. lol (probably more like 100+)

But Windows XP and Linux aren't system hogs like running Company of Heroes and Call of Duty 2 at the same time. Adding Oblivion onto there and playing all three at the same time (not just in menus and stuff but actually playing) started to give me serious lag. All of those games hit 500mb of Ram usage automatically, and Oblivion and CoH have hit as high as 1200mb apiece.

Heh, I wasn't really talking about things like that anyway. I was just saying that I have a lot of things I usually leave running on here. 
I'd like to have more like what you have, though, as far as cpu features/speed and memory amount.
Mine is a socket 939 single-core Athlon 64 3200+ (2.0 GHz) and I have 1 GB (2x512 MB) of memory. I'm considering soon upgrading to a socket AM2 board with a dual core cpu (possibly still a 2.0 GHz one) and 2 GB of memory. Of course, because of what I have I will need to replace all 3 of those components (because I specifically want socket AM2 for a certain CPU feature I would use a lot).
I probably won't be upgrading the video card anytime soon, though, since I'm completely satisfied with what I have (for now); partly since I don't buy PC games very often. Also, the card I have is good enough to play every game I currently have at the absolute highest settings on the highest resolution my current monitor supports. It is a 16 pixel pipeline unlocked Radeon X800 GTO^2 -- basically equivalent to an X800 XL at stock clocks, but it has the same GPU as the X850 cards and mine works perfectly stable at X850 XT Platinum Edition settings. I don't use those settings typically, though, as I don't have any games that the default clock speed can't handle at max detail settings.

Oh, I've switched out the cooler for something else that would keep it cooler, so no problem there.
It barely breaks 70 C after extended use at X850XTPE settings, and I've heard of actual X850XTPE cards exceeding 80 C.BTW, at those settings, 3d benchmark results are identical to systems with the same CPU type/speed as mine, the same amount of memory, and an actual X850XTPE card.
Pyro-Fire:
Is your network connection one built-in on the motherboard, or is it a separate card? Hmm, either way, do you have a spare network card you could try using in the computer to see if the result is the same? Also, is your network connection using drivers that came with Windows or ones directly from the maker of the card? If they are ones from the maker of the card, are they the most up-to-date ones?

If you have both an onboard network interface and a PCI card, why don't you try both of those? Also, if the onboard is giving you trouble, disable it in the BIOS. That's what you do for onboard video/audio when you get dedicated video/sound cards. Maybe you have to with network cards as well.

the second card is very old... so ill try re-installing the cards if that dont work ill try your way of doing it
ADDITION:
i switched over to my second network card and now it only runs at a minimum of about 35% =D!
if someone knows how to get the last 30% back, i'd love to hear it =)
ADDITION:
awww freak... it lowers my max net speed to less then dialup
edit:
oh nvm just the mirror of this program..
Edit:
I HAVE DISCOVERED WHAT IT IS! now i just need to know how to fix it!!
its apparently "hardware interrupts" -- according to microsoft's process explorer.
solution : get a new network card?
